An Albertson man is hoping police will find the culprit in the theft of a gazebo from his home last week.
Mike Harkavy said the brand-new packaged gazebo was taken from the front porch of his Argyle Road house on March 30 between 8:15 and 11:15 a.m.
He had not yet built the gazebo and left it on the porch in its 7-foot-long box, he said. It was gone when he returned to his house.
Nobody was home at the time, Harkavy said, and no one witnessed the crime. He said he thinks someone must have taken it in a large vehicle.
I remember when I picked it up I couldn’t put it in my car, so it had to be somebody with one of these trucks or vans or something.
Nassau County police confirmed that Harkavy reported the crime and said it is being investigated. Harkavy said Tuesday police had yet to follow up with him.
Harkavy asked that anyone with information about the theft call the police department’s Third Precinct in Williston Park at 516-573-6300.
